Autonomous implantable bioelectronics requires efficient radiating structures for data transfer and wireless powering. The radiation of body-implanted capsules is investigated to obtain the explicit radiation optima for E- and B-coupled sources of arbitrary dimensions and properties. The analysis uses the conservation-of-energy formulation within dispersive homogeneous and stratified canonical body models. The results reveal that the fundamental bounds exceed by far the efficiencies currently obtained by conventional designs. Finally, a practical realization of the optimal source based on a dielectric-loaded cylindrical-patch structure is presented. The radiation efficiency of the structure closely approaches the theoretical bounds and shows a fivefold improvement over existing systems.

In this paper, we investigate the use of fat tissue as a communication channel between in-body, implanted devices at R-band frequencies (1.7⁻2.6 GHz).

The principal approach was to study hemopoiesis on different stromal cell underlayers (fibroblasts or fibroblast-like cells covering a foreign body implanted into the peritoneal cavity of mice or other rodents) after intraperitoneal transplantation of syngeneic, allogeneic, and xenogeneic hemopoietic cells. The data obtained are compared with the results of experiments on repopulation of ectopic hemopoietic territories (under the mouse kidney capsule) by syngeneic and xenogeneic hemopoietic cells. Competitive cell interactions are described that occur during repopulation of the hemopoietic stroma or formation of the hemopoietic foci on cellulose acetate membranes (CAMs) in the peritoneal cavity of irradiated mice by genetically different hemopoietic cells transplanted to these animals (multicomponent radiation chimeras).
